After Harvey Weinstein, a famous photographer is being dropped from a ton of fashion brands over sexual assault allegations

Terry Richardson has been blacklisted from working with Vogue and other Condé Nast magazines, according to an email from Condé Nast's COO obtained by the Telegraph.

The email said that any unpublished work scheduled with Richardson should be "killed or substituted with other material."

On Tuesday, Valentino announced that it won't work with the photographer going forward.

Richardson is known for sexually charged photography.

Models and celebrities have accused him of breaking contracts, coercing women into posing nude, and sexual harassment and assault.

In a 2014 essay in the Huffington Post, Richardson wrote that he "collaborated with consenting adult women who were fully aware of the nature of the work, and as is typical with any project, everyone signed releases."

A representative for the publisher confirmed to INSIDER that Condé Nast COO James Woolhouse sent an email to all "country presidents" on Monday morning that said all work scheduled with the photographer must be "killed or substituted with other material."

This means that the photographer's work will no longer appear in international and domestic editions of magazines like Vogue, Vanity Fair, and W.

"Terry is disappointed to hear about this email especially because he has previously addressed these old stories," a representative for Richardson said in a statement to INSIDER. "He is an artist who has been known for his sexually explicit work so many of his professional interactions with subjects were sexual and explicit in nature but all of the subjects of his work participated consensually."

Richardson has previously photographed a wide range of celebrities including Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Kylie Jenner. He also worked on the 2013 music video for Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball," in which the singer appeared naked on a wrecking ball. Cyrus has since said that she regrets filming that video.

"I collaborated with consenting adult women who were fully aware of the nature of the work, and as is typical with any project, everyone signed releases," he wrote. "I have never used an offer of work or a threat of rebuke to coerce someone into something that they did not want to do."

Since Condé Nast announced its decision on Monday, other fashion industry brands have followed suit. Valentino, which has worked with Richardson on accessory campaigns since 2013, announced on Tuesday that it ended its relationship with photographer — despite having scheduled work with him for the designer's upcoming Resort 2018 collection.

"Valentino's last campaign with photographer Terry Richardson was shot in July 2017 — there are no plans on a future campaign, and, of course, take these allegations against Terry Richardson seriously," a representative for Valentino explained in a statement to the Daily Beast.

The fashion industry's move to drop Richardson reflects the changing attitude surrounding allegations of sexual assault in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal.

In 2014, BuzzFeed asked more than 25 fashion brands and magazines if they planned to work with Richardson in the future. At the time, Valentino declined to comment and Vogue said it had no plans.

Condé Nast International declined to comment further on the nature of Richardson's ban, but a representative has confirmed to INSIDER that the following was sent in an email to "country presidents" on Monday:

"I am writing to you on an important matter. Condé Nast would like to no longer work with the photographer Terry Richardson.

Any shoots that have been commission[ed] or any shoots that have been completed but not yet published, should be killed and substituted with other material.

Please could you confirm that this policy will be actioned in your market effective immediately. Thank you for your support in this matter."

If you are a victim of sexual assault, you can visit RAINN or call its hotline at 1-800-656-4673 to receive confidential support from a trained staff member.

This post was updated on October 25 to reflect that Valentino will not work with Terry Richardson in the future.
